Police in Citrus Heights recovered digital evidence of a man -- who's believed to be linked to several robberies -- wearing a gorilla mask during a strong-armed heist.

The video and still images from April 20 show someone confronting the victim to steal his bike, the Citrus Heights Police Department said. The video was obtained during a search of a parolee.

The images indicate that along with the masked man, there were multiple people present during the robbery, police said.

Police said that there have been no reports of crimes with similar circumstances involving the man in the gorilla mask. But, officers believe the masked man and others may be responsible for additional robberies in the Citrus Heights area.

Detectives are asking the community's help in identifying the victim and any other possible victims.
